Politics Three Lebanese soldiers injured by Israeli fire

Three soldiers of the regular Lebanese army have been injured by Israeli fire, according to the armed forces. The Israeli military attacked two military vehicles in the village of Burj Al-Muluk in southern Lebanon, the Lebanese army announced. The vehicles were carrying bulldozers. They were supposed to clear roads that had been damaged by Israeli fire. The Israeli military did not comment at first.

The Lebanese army is neutral in the conflict between the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia and the Israeli military. It is not the declared enemy of Israel, which according to its own statements is taking action against Hezbollah. Nevertheless, there have already been repeated incidents with the Lebanese army in which soldiers have been killed.
